Kickstart the digital transformation with prebuilt Metercloud integrations and connectors, and connect new software solutions in days instead of months of custom coding. Don’t get stuck with traditional technology, and become a digital utility with Metercloud.

Massive Change Ahead for Utilities

The drive for renewable energy sources and the electrification of transportation is accelerating. Advanced software solutions for controlling generation and consumption of power will be crucial for enabling a future with a substantial shift towards clean energy.

What is the Future Role for Your Utility?

The future role for utilities in the energy revolution is not determined yet. Some will continue to maintain an aging IT infrastructure and dedicated focus on traditional grid operation. Other utilities will grab the opportunity to become the platform operator driving innovation by integrating energy data across the entire value chain. What is your plan?

Traditional System Integration is Risky and Slow

The traditional system integration approach involves acquiring middleware and engaging with a system integrator to build a customized solution with a lengthy, costly and high-risk integration project. That is no longer an adequate approach for utilities dealing with a fast-paced energy revolution. You must move fast with less risk.

Failing Integration Projects

Custom integration projects usually involve high upfront costs, long time-to-market, inherent risk, substantial delays, budget overruns, and often fail due to high complexity.

Failing Operations

Customized integration solutions are expensive to operate and maintain, hard to monitor, and fixing of errors tends to be a slow process.

Failing to Innovate

Traditional systems integration approaches hold back innovation since implementing innovative new software solutions is expensive, time consuming, and has a failing business case.

From Grid Operator to Digital Utility

Utilities can take a proactive role in the energy revolution, or be left behind as more flexible, more efficient and innovative competitors and alternatives overtake them. Disruptive and data driven business models will dominate the energy industry. Right now, utilities have a substantial opportunity to take the role as a platform operator enabling innovation and driving the energy revolution.

Optimize Grid Operation

Advanced software will be crucial for optimizing grid operations, and leading utilities will embrace technology for predictive maintenance and self-healing grids.

Embrace Data Economy

Utilities are entering the data economy, where the ability to fully utilize data from the digital grid infrastructure will determine future profitability.

Enable Smart Cities

Utilities can take the role as platform operators driving innovation for smart cities, and transform into multi-utilities driving the energy revolution and shift to renewable energy sources.

Metercloud Defines a New Approach

It is time for new approach to system integration for digital utilities. This is Metercloud. System integration delivered in a SaaS model, with out-of-the-box support to enable integration of software operating smart meters and smart grids. A platform that puts the utility in the driver’s seat for operating an advanced ecosystem with seamless integration of software to optimize a digital grid.

Become a Platform Operator

Utilizing Metercloud, Utilities can become platform operators enabling the energy revolution by managing the data flow faster and more smoothly.

Drive Innovation

Metercloud transforms system integration from an obstacle into a platform for innovation by connecting new software solutions without the need to code.

Cloud Native Technology

Utilize the power of the public cloud or deploy on a private cloud. Either way, Greenbird’s technology is cloud native and built to scale.

What do You Get with Metercloud?

Metercloud delivers configurable integration applications for smart metering, smart billing and smart grids. This is called Orchestration as a Service (OaaS) since the subscription on Metercloud includes all capabilities for an integration Platform as a Service, and moreover, best practice orchestrations creating agile business processes for the digital utility.

Metercloud

Metercloud Orchestrations

Metercloud Orchestrations are out-of-the box integration applications supporting business processes such as meter-to-cash. You can easily integrate your head end system, meter data management system and billing system through straightforward configuration in the Metercloud Console. No lengthy integration project and coding is required.

Metercloud Connectors

Greenbird is building Metercloud Connectors for leading software vendors for utilities. This means that new software applications can be connected in days instead of spending months on custom development. Required updates are included in the Metercloud subscription.

Metercloud Ghostwriter

What if you could test if your new meter data management system can handle meter readings from millions of smart meters before you start the rollout? You can achieve this with Metercloud Ghostwriter. It can deliver simulated data on exactly the same format as your planned head end system. Save time and costs by eliminating bottlenecks early in your smart metering project.

Metercloud Utililake

Utilities are entering the data economy and utilization of data will be crucial for the future of their business. With Metercloud Utililake, they can store all data managed with Metercloud Orchestrations. This will enable a utility to start building applications that create business insight with a lean startup approach.

Metercloud Heartbeat

To operate as a digital utility is a complex task, and advanced software may fail. We have you covered. With Metercloud Heartbeat, you have end-to-end monitoring of all data flow within your digital utility. If a software system is not performing as expected, the problem can be identified instantly, and time spent on error fixes can be reduced dramatically

Why Metercloud is a Better Fit for Digital Transformation

Traditional system integration projects typically run on classical middleware or an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). The system integrator delivers a custom development project where they establish connectivity, a data model, integration flows, and monitoring. All these components are included for a fixed subscription price on Metercloud. With prebuilt support for business processes in utilities, Metercloud significantly reduces risk, costs, and time-to-value.

Metercloud Subscription

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership with Metercloud

Since traditional system integration involves custom development with a system integrator, utilities are facing high upfront costs. Operation of custom integrations drives high costs, and any updates or implementation of new software will trigger another integration project. Metercloud’s subscription model disrupts the traditional delivery model and utilities can typically obtain a 10-year TCO saving up to 25 % whilst significantly reducing project risk.
